I've never shared this part of my life before, and honestly, it's one of the hardest things to talk about. Infertility is such a personal, painful journey - and for a long time, I kept it all to myself out of embarrassment and shame. It's been incredibly hard facing so many challenges while those around us start growing their families.

After just over a year of trying to grow our family, one whole year of treatments, and six failed IUls (intrauterine insemination), we still haven't reached our finish line. This journey has been mentally exhausting, emotionally draining, and it's taken a toll on my self-esteem — especially after all the physical changes that come with treatment. The weight gain from medications took a toll on my confidence, and somewhere along the way, I lost pieces of myself.

I feel the need to share our story and though it feels incredibly vulnerable to put this out there. I truly believe in God's perfect timing, and we are surrendering our plans into His hands.

In the loneliest moments, even while grieving the dream of a family-we have an army behind us and so many prayers lifting us up. After much thought and hope, we've decided to pursue IVF. It's a beautiful and brave next step-but it comes with a heavy financial burden.

Here’s my story, I am the 1 in 6 who struggle with infertility. With all my heart, thank you to those who continue to pray for us, sharing the link, donating, or simply sending love and encouragement. 

Thank you
